Review: Captain America

The movie starts in a good shape with a interesting story line. A guy who volunteers to be part of a military service but gets refused because of his asthma and weak body. However, a doctor from a top secret research program finds him and accepts him; soon enough to turn him into Captain America.

After he becomes Captain America the movie starts to get really boring. The middle part and last part of the movie were truly awful. I tried my best to keep myself awake but couldn't bare the boredom of the movie. I didn't enjoy the action scenes neither the acting in the movie.

I expected a lot more. I would rate the movie 4/10

Safari Police Car

In April I noticed and posted about a Prado police car (Which we are still waiting to see in the streets), today I saw a something totally different a Safari police car but this time they were driving it. So far Kuwaiti police cars are from Ford, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota and the old ones some are still using from Chevrolet and BMW.

Hope to see some new cool police cars like Porsche, Lamborghini or Hummer H2 *cough*

As for the 4WD police cars, can we say hello Safari .. bye bye Prado ?

Zain's "عالم جميل" Play

Zain invited us today to attend their play "عالم جميل" which was performed at Kuwait Ice Rink. It was a pleasure to see such a great performance and amazing music done by Kuwaitis, the whole play was in Arabic which made me extra love this work since it encourages our children to speak more Arabic than English.

I was wondering when will someone release a play for Eid not for the sake of money by bringing stars from the crowds' favorite series and put them all together in one pointless play, and Zain just made what I've been waiting for. I also loved the music and their lyrics, kids can learn a thing or two out of them.

Hope "عالم جميل" play changes the way other directors think by try focusing on what the kids need to learn rather than focusing on getting extra easy money.

To book the tickets visit The Ice Rink.

Well Done Zain.

هدية افتح يا سمسم من شركة زين

We received from Zain two lovely teddy bears (نعمان و ملسون) and a flash drive in the shape of Naa'man.

You brought a lovely memory into our house. Thank you Zain for the wonderful gift.

Bloggers Gathering with Zain CEO

We were invited yesterday night by the family of Zain for a small bloggers gathering. The gathering was held for questions to be asked directly to the CEO and people working under him.

Some of the questions asked were sensitive which included how people would think that Zain are playing with the bills. However, they had a strong response that Zain are not thieves and anybody who has a similar issue could step-up and let us know about it. In addition to that, they made a special bill checking on their website so that you wont get confused with billing transactions.

Many other questions were asked by bloggers and Zain were really generous to answer all questions with explanation and details. I would like to add that the management of Zain were really nice and thoughtful, many laughs were spread through-out the gathering.

After the gathering we had a tour at the call center (107) as we had a look behind-the-scenes of the voices of Zain.

We would like to thank Zain for having a unique idea to confront the managers of Zain. Thank you Mohammed Al-Muhaini for the special invitation and the gift bag.

Solo Churros - Opening Soon

Solo Churros is going to open soon in Burj Jasem right next to the elevators. Many would ask what is Churros ? .. It's the name of the Spanish doughnuts, they're mostly look like sticks and dipped into chocolate or coffee.

It's nice to have something new to try, specially when I didn't know that Spain has a different kind of doughnuts.

Roberto Carlos In Kuwait

Yesterday AlRoudhan Tournament made a dream come true by having Real Madrid's former defender Roberto Carlos to attend their tournament. After that they went to 360 mall at 8:30pm to be exact where every fan had the chance to take a picture with him, and some even got his signature.

Also AlRoudhan Tournament will be having Manchester United's former goalkeeper Van Der Sar next Friday August 19, so be ready !

And I thought I was short until I met Roberto Carlos.

Wataniya Telecom Verified By Twitter Officials

While I was surfing Twitter, I noticed that Wataniya Telecom's twitter account is verified by twitter officials. This is the first time I stumble upon a verified user who's published in Kuwait.

I think Kuwaiti CEO's, politicians and other VIP people should be part of the verified people due to the huge usage of Twitter in Kuwait and the Arab world.

Thank you Barmait

Dasman Diabetes Institute Girgai'an Event

We visited Dasman Diabetes Institute which held a Girgai'an gathering for diabetes kids and their families. The event was well-organized with plenty of fun activities. They had question games which was really fun.

They distributed nutritional and diabetes education facts and ask a nutritionist, as well as playing Xbox Kinect to promote an active lifestyle and promote physical activity through video games.

At the end of the event, they distributed portion controlled dried fruits, gum, and chocolates in small Girgain bags with nutrition information/labels.

Thank you Kuwaitiful for the pictures.

People have tried similar crazy actions without a rope, why not try it with a rope. It costs around $200.

KFH New Machine

Almost all KFH branches has two indoor ATMs and one outdoor ATM and I always wonder when will KFH add a deposit machine like NBK which I was able to deposit cash whenever I needed to. Yesterday I went to KFH Qadesiya to notice this green machine and to be honest I was happy to read the word deposit. The new machine can deposit cheques also not just cash.

As far as I know the new machine is available in KFH Qadesiya and Mishref ( opposite to GUST ) branches.

Brave or Crazy ?

First time I watched this video I got this funny stomach feeling, I really hate heights and every time I look down I feel like if I'm gonna fall at any second.

Don't know how they managed to do it !
